Sometimes this can hit you upside the head in such a way like you ain't never heard it countless times all through your life, and then, you can be sure it's REAL that it reached you in the first place

It seems so strange now.... Seeing appreciation now for that time when anyone in uniform was despised or misunderstood....  Listening to this song from that time....

I thank this country for finally thanking those that were never thanked.    (Even though I served, I never consider myself to have sacrificed, and feel very odd when someone finds out I served.)   

I join everyone in thanking those that truly did sacrifice for us.

I agree !!! This is a pinnacle song.. as far as long lost friends go..
I recently, after all my life, found out my grandfather was born in the Azores Islands. 
I had lost all connection with my Portuguese relatives.
Last March I was on the free trial of Ancestry.com.... 
I thought my first first cousin Betti was in Oregon... I hadn't seen her since we were teenagers in 1965. 
After many days of searching I found her !!! then called a phone number posted there on Ancestry and... She answered..  what a scream!! 
That very day, within an hour she was holding and dusting a picture of the two of us when we were 5 years old!!!
Talk about psychic... I flew to the USA, drove to Oregon and held her in my arms... It was surreal... 
So don't give up... you will find your friend I am sure of it. Cheers!

Dang, what a set:

Ray LaMontagne — Be Here Now
Youngbloods — Get Together

Bill does it again. {#Notworthy}

Oh, RP. Your talent for the segue can not be underestimated. Ray LaMontagne's Be Here Now leading into this? Sublime.  {#Meditate}

This stirs memories of my youth. A local Glasgow band, Gasoline Alley, used to do a really rocking cover of this. My friend's mother had The Youngbloods' version on a compilation, and for us it became a guilty pleasure.

They really are just a bunch of swell guys.  A little excitable, perhaps.

Didn't really expect to hear it - but it would have been a blast to hear Nirvana's Territorial Pissings right after this one.

I've always loved this song.  But, as viewed through the Lens of history since it was first played, it is incredibly sad, almost despondent.  I've got to go and cut myself now.

I am sure it was a mistake that this song came out THIS well... somehow it is beyond mere stereo... or the bounds of my youth.  It still rises, amazing, no matter the context.  Bless you all involved, regardless how little to do with how much a masterpiece this really is!

I am a cynical old man and when this started playing I thought "Oh yeah, how's that peace and harmony working out for you all now".

We used to play the hell out of this track along with a few others over our pirate radio system out of Da Nang, RVN during that nasty little war in that nasty little place ...... "Coming to ya from Monkey Mountain, this is that Tower of Power .. Artillery Radio!"  Then we would play this —- our sign off (when we thought the colonel was coming around) was "The Letter" by the Boxtops.

Oh hell yes.  A whole lifetime ago.

Well of course Bill couldn't fix the simultaneous playing - it was God's OWN radio playing on top of the Youngbloods.
